Shuttle startup button quasi-useless with new monitor

[Guest apprentice idiot]

Having just installed an LG L226WA monitor, the startup button on my xpc

SD37P2 has been rendered quasi-inoperative. Whether on reboot from hibernate

or cold fire-up, it takes up to one half-hour to cajole and trick my system

into getting underway.

 

Anyone know how to fix this?

Re: Shuttle startup button quasi-useless with new monitor

 

Are you running a multi-display setup, or did you exchange the old one?

Since multiple displays are supported on most hardware today - did you

completely un-install the old monitor? If you are having both connected,

some trickery may be required to get it working. Many Graphics Cards

supporting multiple outputs are only having digital output for the second

display, if I'm not mistaken???

No, I simply went flatscreen. My NVIDIA card would have handled both types of

display. But as I'm using single, this is not the case.

Any other suggestions?

I'm about to go down and order a 30" myself, so have no real experience

yet - first, I would try and uninstall the graphics card via Device Manager

and the display driver too (Software Removal), then do a reboot (coldboot)

into VGA and have Windows find the thing and set it up again.

 

Please let us hear of any 'funny stuff' you experience, I'd like to be

prepared when I go dip my toes.
